Merrimack County Courthouse

Description

The Merrimack County Courthouse stands at 163 North Main Street in Concord, New Hampshire, the state capital and county seat of Merrimack County. The oldest part of the courthouse building is a brick and granite two story structure, completed in 1857 to serve as a town hall and court building. The city and county used the building for town offices and county courts until 1904, when the city sold its interest in the building to the county. Between 1905 and 1907 the building was extensively remodeled to plans by local architect George S. Forrest. A modern addition has been made to the rear of the building.The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

I took a couple of cases here in 2015, and was not operating with a lawyer, nor a Court appointed one. Neither am I a lawyer. Therefore, I had initial difficulty understanding the process, but did eventually get some handle on it. I had a Civil case. I did enjoy the politeness and concern of the law clerks of the Court, but was not generally impressed by the help of the basic staff... There are too stringent rules, in my opinion, which they are placed under, so as not to be seen as 'helping', in any bias sense, a defendant or Plaintiff. Come the court day, which was actually an initial hearing, I was again disappointed in that they shuffled us into Court, and had the next case's participants lining up in Court -- in the very same room -- behind us, as if they were in a hurry to get us me out of the way... And then eventually my case was never heard on the merits: quite disillusioning, after all my troubles. I thought I was being prejudged without even being heard. The building itself is an old circa 1900 structure, which they have built over, and remodeled, with the typical modern screened plastic see-through fencing, making it all the more difficult for a novice to learn, be understood, and made to feel welcome. Yet the more critical end is the justice itself, or lack of it, and in the case of Merrimack Superior Court I did walk away disappointed. There are all sorts of silly technical rules and laws these days protecting entrenched interests, yet there should always exist a Judge, and staff, that is sympathetically wanting to hear your case without at all prejudging you. I thought they were lacking in this respect. As a final word, the 300$ fee for filing a case, this being besides summoning and notification fees, is ridiculous, and represents an abuse of the public trust.
Many of the pictures shown are of the OLD courthouse building on Main Street, which is now occupied by various Merrimack County offices. If you want the current courthouse, be sure to go to the modern building in the back.
